Operation Compassion is usually synonymous with natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and the list goes on. However, there are many different types of disasters – economic, health, emotional, etcetera. Recently, Operation Compassion was asked to help a man experiencing his own personal disaster.
Operation Compassion recently partnered with Transition House in Cleveland, TN to provide furnishings, household items and other supplies as needed. Transition House is a ministry of U-Turn Institute which capitalizes on the stories of people making a significant impact on others in the community. Transition House is a secure facility without a published address.
During the recent tornado outbreak in southeastern Tennessee and northern Georgia, Operation Compassion reached out to its disaster relief partners for assistance. One of the most values partners, Feed the Children, stepped up and donated product from its vast resources. A new product to Operation Compassion was from Heavenly Harvest. It was there Red Beans and Rice.
Heavenly Harvest’s Red Beans and Rice are ready to eat meals that are heated in the package and served. In this format, the meals are an excellent commodity that works exceptionally well in a disaster setting. Throughout the tornado damaged areas, Operation Compassion was able to serve these meals to survivors. These nutritious meals were well received and enjoyed.
Operation Compassion will be eagerly anticipating the next opportunity to partner with Heavenly Harvest through Feed the Children.
